Got a surprising email from Benchmark (a consigner). Seems like someone is unloading quite a bit of port (check out some of the quantities). also, I'm 99% sure they have a premium on top of these prices, but you can contact them to find out. [if this is in the wrong forum, pls move]

"We are thrilled to share an incredible new collection filled with world-class dessert wines of Port and Sauternes. These come from a collector who stored his wines in a temperature controlled cellar on the east side of Los Angeles."
Here are the ports:

Their pricing is horrible 98% of the time. Massive mark ups. As for these lots. I’d assume it’s all from the same person for the ports. If so, look at how many leakers there are. Obviously poor storage which is a real shame. I got the email and the poor descriptions were a huge turn off.

Yeah, it mostly left me wondering "Who's selling that much port?" Who's even got that much port from reasonable vintages, with conditions that are more aligned to "i just want to drink it" rather than "i only buy to resell." It seemed either like a restaurant, or one of us!
